For some requirements, you may find it easier to invest in a 3rd-party solution, such as NetNanny or CyberPatrol.

You need to be aware, however, that *NO* technical or software solution is fool-proof, and *none* can ever take the place of live adult supervision. If you cannot trust your child to safely/properly use the computer without supervision, you may have to consider limiting his access to it.
